Dr. Aziz has a wonderful team. They are quick to respond and easy to access if questions or concerns pop up. If a teammate is unavailable, I'm always proactively made aware of it and given a backup plan in case I need to reach out.

Dr Aziz and his NP Becca are both amazing. They take their time with every visit. They made sure my 10 year old son was included in his care decisions. They are able to break down complex medical information to a level my 10 year son understands. My son can explain what WPW is, and his recent cardiac ablation procedure. I would 10/10 recommend Dr Aziz and Becca.

Dr. Aziz spent close to one hour with my son. He listened, was receptive, took in new information, and integrated it accordingly, which shouldn't be notable in a medical setting, but it certainly is/was! Dr. Aziz was attentive and extremely clear in his communication of complex medical topics. We are incredibly grateful for the superb care he provided.
